Divergent High

Chapter 9

Tris pov

"Tris wake up" Tobias says gently shaking me awake.

"Are we here" I ask

"Yes we are" he says and I squeal and buckle my seat belt on.

"I'm so excited" I say

"Me too" he says

We get to our hotel which is located in Sydney, Australia. It's night time now and I'm feeling a bit jetleged from the time difference.

I lay straight on the bed and close my eyes.

Tobias puts our bags down and sits next to me.

"You know I was thinking and your mom is right" I say to him and he has a confused face

"Right about what" he ask

"I need to be more responsible. I need a job. I need to get my life together and not let my eating disorder get in the way" I say and he sighs putting his hands on my face

"Let's not talk about this now" he says

"But maybe it's true. Maybe she's right about everything" I say with a little of a whine

"You don't have to think about that right now" he says and I sigh

"You're fine. We're fine" he adds

"I just don't want you being the only one with money. I want to help you out" I say

"If you want to help you can but I don't want you getting a job if you don't want to because trust me we don't need it, our financing is good" he says

"I know but your mom" I say

"My mom is just a workaholic and wants everyone to be like her" he says

"Tell me do you want to work" he ask

"Eh" I say

"No but I should" I add

"That's not what I asked" he says

"No I don't want to work" I say

"Then don't. Only do what makes you comfortable" he says

"Okay" I whisper

"Now no more work/ my mom / negative talk. It's our time and we're going to enjoy every last second of it" he says pecking my lips

"You're right" I say smiling

"There's a pool here, want to do a little night swimming" he says

"Is it open right now" I blush

"The people downstairs said it's open all night and all day. So what do you say" he says and I jump from the bed and grab my bathing suit from my bag.

I change into a black 2 piece and Tobias puts on swim trunks.

We walk hand and hand to the pool and as soon as we walk outside I let the beautiful Australian air hit me.

"The weather is so beautiful out" I say

"I wonder how the water is" he says letting go of my hand

"Only one way to find out" he adds picking me up and throwing us both into the pool.

"Tobias" I playfully yell.

"I can't swim" I say pretending to drown but the truth is I'm an excellent swimmer

He puts his hands on my waist and lifts me from the water.

"I'm so sorry I didn't know you didn't know how to swim" he says and I start laughing
